Weather or not you end up running NTP using a VM is up to your site. I would want to know if your monitoring system detects when your NTP time drifts though.
If your time does drift, monitoring alerts happen, you investigate. If it turns out to be a VM drift issue you then have evidence for your manager that you may want to manage NTP differently. If you don't have monitoring, check mk raw is a great opensource tool that has NTP monitoring as one of it's many features. If you don't trust the NTP time source for your check mk server (i.e. your internal NTP VM), make it use an upstream NTP server itself. You will quickly see time drift if it happens.
